This is the pattern of beliefs which determine man's vision of the world both as it is and as he would like it to be. The term left conjures up such diverse political forms as 'pink' .Euro-Communism, the welfare capitalism of Swedish social democracy, and the giants of Lenin and Mao. Right brings to mind a set of equally unhappy bedfellows: the autocratic regime of South Africa, and Italy's and West Germany's Christian Democrats as well as Thatcher and Reagan, the stalwarts of the 'New Right'.

The direct system of democracy of the ancient Greek city-states where every citizen was given the opportunity to participate actively in the act of governing over the centuries gave way to the doctrine of the divine rule of kings. This article concentrates on different forms of government and ideologies.

The word 'Inquisition' was probably used in the above sense for the first time in 844, when Emperor Charles II advised the bishops to inquire into the errors of the people and correct them. In its historical significance, the word 'Inquisition' has very close links with a tribunal which in the past engendered great fear, even in those who had no doubts of its fairness. It was every inquisitor's duty to look out for heretics in order to correct and punish them.
